Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans cashed the board's mistake on Gordon II: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Texans do not have to explain a thing at No. 236.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 52nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. slipping to the 121st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 164 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at pick 236 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
